2008/10/2 Miguel Braganza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (a): Herman has changed the subject line ...and made wild allegations which he will find difficult to substantiate if I sit and dig out the archives of Goanet.
(b) THREE out of FOUR "Moderators" ..... have resorted to extremism already == Dears (as Miguel would say), We have had enough "kestavam" about this. Time for some resolution. Let's start by taking a break from this circular "bobatt". My suggestions: 1: Herman deserves some slack. He is not a regular poster. 2: I am yet to be convinced that Bosco and Frederick have resorted to any form of "extremism". Let's not be extreme in our condemnation of something which really may NOT be minimally extreme. 3: Those among us who have demonstrated Fairness, Moderation and the Capacity for "moderation", please stand up and offer yourself for this Thankless Job. It would be nice to see how brilliantly this "CHANGE" works. Let's cut the pronouncements - Let the Pudding provide the Proof. 4: Until that time appears, I intend to THANK the present moderators for the onerous task they have at hand. I know that they are NOT perfect. Neither am I. The perfect man or woman may wish to rise up and draw our attention. Please provide proof of your perfection - or you may be ignored. 5: Surely - the moderators may wish to take heed of the criticism (some of which is good and some in the territory of bitter outlandishness) .... Not being in the manufacturing business, I will happily provide proof of this. 6: I OPPOSE this ganging up on the moderators. 7: I also oppose this impossible imposition on them that They should provide reasons and sign ALL rejection notices. 8: Anyone who disagrees MUST be their employer. Please advise me of the salaries you are paying them. 9: NOW ...let's be sensible ....Let's try work this out One Step at a Time ...but NOT by Coercion or Abuse. Let's understand that the moderators will make mistakes ....like you and I do. They ALSO have a life and work besides GoaNet. 10: Above all .....Let's beware of the Matlabis - the guys with an agenda - be it communal, commie or plain anarchist. just my view jc ps: As advised earlier ...I will be taking a "writing on the forums" break for 12 weeks as of today Oct 2, 2008 aka Gandhi Jayanti.. I have other, personally important, writing work at hand and travel plans during which I plan to have fun with happy Goans. Do excuse any typos in this post.
